0:40Now PlayingThe Los Angeles Lakers are being sold for the second time in just over a year — this time to two big names in business, former Disney CEO Bob Iger and venture capitalist Josh Kushner, younger brother of Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law.
The price is reportedly a record-shattering $12.5 billion.
The team has been owned since 2025 by Mark Walter, the majority owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The NBA must ultimately approve the deal before the sale is final.
